I’m gonna give away three Cranky Cat codes for Steam. All you have to do is Tubmail me from your main account saying you want a copy, and I’ll use a randomized numerical generatrix to select the winners.

I doubt three people are even reading this, so I’d say you’ve got a pretty good chance! Log in to see images!(view post)

Enjoy your BP and brand new E-Peen™! And thanks for everyone who bailed our bumes out contributed. The new generic replies will start to trickle into the system soon. Try pwning an easy forum sometime and watch out for those #hashtags and Bieber references…like a boss.

Forgot to mention the cutoff date. Please get those subs in within a week. That’s Tuesday, November 13 at 12:00 p.m. (EST). Then we’ll need a bit of time to decide the winners and distribute the prizes.

It’s time to give away a bunch of our recently encheapened Brownie Points, plus the first new E-Peen™ in ages. What’s this one about? You guessed it: writing our content for us!

Some of our game forums, particularly in Episode 1, have a percentage of generic “angry replies” that you see while pwning. None were created later than 2009. We need your trollish expertise to come up with some hip, contemporary replies for the twenty-tens. Can you believe we don’t even have such modern clbumics as “haters gonna hate” or “u mad bro”?

This can’t stand. You can help us get some new stuff in there, but preferably with a clever and hilarious twist!

Here’s how you enter. Just come up with a maximum of three generic angry replies, using the Forumbuildr syntax (see the cheat sheet in Forumbuildr by clicking the Angry Replies bumon) and Tubmail it to me here with the subject “A Flaming New Decade”. Please do not post submission in this thread.

Sweet, generic prizes:

• 250 Log in to see images! and a special E-Peen™ for the player with the best overall submission

• 150 Log in to see images! and a special E-Peen™ for the player with the second-best overall submission

• 50 Log in to see images!

Pretty simple, right? Remember, this is a contest thread, so there’s (ironically) no trolling allowed, lest the hammer comes out.

A lot of this is ancient history, but I may as well offer my side of the story.

I agree that I shouldn’t have expected crayoncakes to accept my admittedly tl;dr apology. I was more upset that she later posted what I thought was a confidential exchange on Flamebate, and then again on scribd once we removed it — to be honest, I don’t even remember what it was. But that explains my last Tubmail, which I sent nearly three years ago.

The whole part about removing her from Google Docs was from something she posted in the Creative Sweatshop:

crayoncakes Posted:

actually it would be nice if you would just remove me from everything since i’m kind of embarrbumed I was involved in this thanks

She later said she was just joking, but I had no idea at the time!

To address a couple of other things, I should point that crayoncakes was not the only female member of the creative team. We can’t forget plk (who won the Apprentice contest), Odalisque and spacekadt.

The “porno” voice thing was just something one of the writers drafted for the character Thinderella on a whim. Everyone agreed it was lame and inappropriate, and it never made it into the game.

Finally, I’ll point out that it’s been a long time since crayoncakes was around, but since then we’ve tried to learn from our mistakes and make Forumwarz’s ~hilarious joekz~ more inclusive with our Emasculation contest. And I think we did a pretty good job.

Anyway, I’m still sorry that you had such a negative experience here. And now that it’s out there, I’m sorry for calling you a douche. That was very immature of me.

Been a while, huh? So, we announced this through Twitter, but the feed isn’t currently working in the newsfeed (fix it ET). Basically, Forumwarz is going to have its biggest sale ever in honor of the fifth anniversary of our launch, starting Oct. 31! Log in to see images!

Games have gotten way cheaper since 2007, so this is long overdue. We’re cutting the BP costs for a bunch of our enhancements, while increasing BP payouts for each package. For instance, you’ll now be able to get both Episodes for $4.99.

Of course, this won’t be relevant for most Flamebate readers, but we’re hoping to bring back some older users who might’ve balked at the price. And believe it not, we still get new users each day!

We’re calling it a “sale,” but you can be pretty sure these changes are permanent. So anyone considering buying BP soon, wait till Halloween!

Finally, be sure to like us on Facebook to be entered into a draw for a ****load of brownies! Like so: Log in to see images!

Just thought I’d let you know that Cranky Cat is now available on the App Store for iOS 3.0 or newer. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, you can download it for free! Check it out: http://ow.ly/5T6tX
